Although the CriticalSection itself doesnt need to be destroyed, there
may be debug data associated with it. Plug a possible small leak.

Add an implementation for the Win32 threading model as a backing API for
the internal c++ threading interfaces. This uses the Fls* family for
the TLS (which has the support for adding termination callbacks),
CRITICAL_SECTIONs for the recursive mutex, and Slim Reader/Writer locks
(SRW locks) for non-recursive mutexes. These APIs should all be
available on Vista or newer.

Summary:
This patch attempts to clean up the macro configuration mess in `<__threading_support>`, specifically the mess involving external threading variants. Additionally this patch adds design documentation for `<__threading_support>` and the configuration macros it uses.
The primary change in this patch is separating the idea of an "external API" provided by `<__external_threading>` and the idea of having an external threading library. Now `_LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_API_EXTERNAL` means that libc++ should use `<__external_threading>` and that the header is expected to exist. Additionally the new macro `_LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_LIBRARY_EXTERNAL` is now used to configure for using an "external library" with the default threading API.

Split out the recursive and non-recursive mutex. This split is needed
for platforms which may use differing types for the two mutex (e.g.
Win32 threads).

after r290850
Before r290850, building libcxx with -DLIBCXX_HAS_EXTERNAL_THREAD_API=ON had two
uses:
- Allow platform vendors to plug-in an __external_threading header which
should take care of the entire threading infrastructure of libcxx
- Allow testing of an externally-threaded library build; where the thread API
is declared using pthread data structures, and the implementation of this
API is provided as a separate library (test/support/external_threads.cpp)
and linked-in when running the test suite.
r290850 breaks the second use case (pthread data structures are no longer
available). This patch re-stores the ability to build+test an
externally-threaded library variant on a pthread based system.
llvm-svn: 290878
Refactor the header to allow us to implement alternate threading models
with alternate data structures. Take the opportunity to clang-format
the area. This will allow us to avoid re-declaring the interfaces for
Win32 threading. NFC

This fixes a small omission where even when __external_threading is provided,
we attempt to declare a pthread based threading API. Instead, we should leave
out everything for the __external_threading header to take care of.
The __threading_support header provides a proof-of-concept externally threaded
libc++ variant when _LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_API_EXTERNAL is defined. But if the
__external_threading header is present, we should exclude all of that POC stuff.

This patch further decouples libc++ from pthread, allowing libc++ to be built
against other threading systems. There are two main use cases:
- Building libc++ against a thread library other than pthreads.
- Building libc++ with an "external" thread API, allowing a separate library to
provide the implementation of that API.
The two use cases are quite similar, the second one being sligtly more
de-coupled than the first. The cmake option LIBCXX_HAS_EXTERNAL_THREAD_API
enables both kinds of builds. One needs to place an <__external_threading>
header file containing an implementation of the "libc++ thread API" declared
in the <__threading_support> header.
For the second use case, the implementation of the libc++ thread API can
delegate to a custom "external" thread API where the implementation of this
external API is provided in a seperate library. This mechanism allows toolchain
vendors to distribute a build of libc++ with a custom thread-porting-layer API
(which is the "external" API above), platform vendors (recipients of the
toolchain/libc++) are then required to provide their implementation of this API
to be linked with (end-user) C++ programs.
Note that the second use case still requires establishing the basic types that
get passed between the external thread library and the libc++ library
(e.g. __libcpp_mutex_t). These cannot be opaque pointer types (libc++ sources
won't compile otherwise). It should also be noted that the second use case can
have a slight performance penalty; as all the thread constructs need to cross a
library boundary through an additional function call.
When the header <__external_threading> is omitted, libc++ is built with the
"libc++ thread API" (declared in <__threading_support>) as the "external" thread
API (basic types are pthread based). An implementation (pthread based) of this
API is provided in test/support/external_threads.cpp, which is built into a
separate DSO and linked in when running the libc++ test suite. A test run
therefore demonstrates the second use case (less the intermediate custom API).

The existing pthread detection code in __config is pretty good for
common operating systems. It doesn't allow cmake-time choices to be
made for uncommon operating systems though.
This change adds the LIBCXX_HAS_PTHREAD_API cmake flag, which turns
into the _LIBCPP_HAS_THREAD_API_PTHREAD preprocessor define. This is
a name change from the old _LIBCPP_THREAD_API_PTHREAD. The lit tests
want __config_site.in variables to have a _LIBCPP_HAS prefix.

This patch extracts out all the pthread dependencies of libcxx into the
new header __threading_support. The motivation is to make it easy to
re-target libcxx into platforms that do not support pthread.
